The use of dandelion was first recorded in writing in the Tang Materia Medica (659 B.C.E.), and then later noted by Arab physicians in the 10th century. In the United States, various indigenous cultures considered dandelion to be a prized edible, a gastrointestinal aid, a cleansing alternative, and a helpful poultice or compress.
